v.
COUNTY OF PLACER THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY’S OFFICE,
Defendant.
23
The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on September 9, 2014.
24
Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are
25
related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve
26
many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same
27
property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,
28
and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges.
1
1
Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a
2
substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.
3
The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely
4
has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the
5
action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally
6
assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was
7
assigned.
8
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:14-cv-01983 TLN-
9
EFB, Karin Bjork v. County of Placer The District Attorney’s Office. is reassigned to Chief
10
Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all further
11
proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned case only are hereby
12
VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue an Order Requiring Joint Status Report.
13
Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as
14
2:14-cv-01983-MCE-EFB.
15
16
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate
adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
17
IT IS SO ORDERED.
